I am fighting in the escape game

What is it like to have a lover?

The former Shen Changqing couldn't answer, but now he can vaguely understand the state of mind of the teenager.

He wants to be with each other all the time and spend the rest of his life with him, and he also wants to escape from the cage-like research institute and gain real freedom.

He was forcibly abducted at the age of 16, and lost his loving parents; at the age of 26, he met Cheng Haiyan, and was forced to lose a lot of time with his lover.

More often, he would be busy in various worlds, repeating the boring life, gritted his teeth to endure the pressure of the world consciousness, and silently endured the pain of his soul being torn apart.

He didn't want to go on like this anymore.

"In the end, in order to help me escape successfully, Haiyan made an agreement with me." The boy said softly.

His face faded a lot at some point, and his whole body seemed to have turned into a phantom, only his voice was still clear: "We spent a long time working together to draw up a plan... one that would allow me to escape completely. Here's the plan."

Next, what appeared in front of Shen Changqing was the picture he saw first.

In a world that promises to have special contractual power, Cheng Haiyan made a promise to the young man that he is willing to become his substitute, inherit his space-crossing ability, and perfect various games for him, so that the young man can completely leave the system monitoring.

At the same time, those people who had been helped by the teenager also stood up one after another, voluntarily joined the team that organized the games, and tried their best to add backgrounds and personnel to one game after another.

For example, in the first game, Lin Xiuxiu, the woman in the portrait, did not die under torture in that world.She was rescued by a boy who happened to pass by, and lived an ordinary life.

After her death, she voluntarily put her soul into the portrait, and with the help of Cheng Haiyan, she sent out the seven letters, inviting her former enemies to come to the cruise ship together to create a background and space for the game.

Another example is that in the third game, the one who rescued Shuxin from the old monks was not the monk from the Chen family, but the young man himself.

More than ten years later, after receiving the notification from Cheng Haiyan, after learning about the family disaster of a certain monk surnamed Chen in the temple, she pretended that she had a good relationship with him and willingly went to the Chen residence to protect them.

In the process of fighting wits and courage with the player, they would mention the master after a few words, the purpose is to cover up the fact that the master has left, so that the player and the player's respective systems think that the master has been shuttling through various worlds.

However, as long as some players are more careful, they will inevitably find that the "masters" in the mouths of those girls have not actually done anything.Even though they kept shouting "Thank you master", in fact, the master was just a background board.

With the concerted efforts of so many people, the news of the boy's disappearance was hidden from the research institute for more than 20 years. It was not until Shen Changqing grew up in the real world that he was 20 years old, and was accidentally discovered by a young researcher.

"The world that I made an agreement with Cheng Haiyan, I think you should also know it," the young man paused, and said, "It is the second world, the S-level world that you have experienced before."

Hearing this, Shen Changqing was slightly taken aback, and then laughed.

"Of course I know," he replied, "Qi Rui is a smart woman who is good at planning, and I still remember it until now."

Yes, he remembered, in the second game world, the contract does have a strange ability that can bind two people tightly together.

Until now, he can still remember that in the second game world, there is a very peculiar function called "sacrifice".

——"This place is full of dangers, I am trapped here, no one can trust anyone, I can only trust you."

- "If I need your help, will you help me?"

--"of course."

In the hospital, as long as one person promises that the other person will help him after the other person utters the above two sentences, in this way, there will be a strange connection between the two.

Under the effect of this connection, through the method of sacrifice, the sacrifice will disappear in the hospital, and the sacrificed person will get rid of mental illness and become a normal person again.

Of course, these are not the main point. The important point is that when Shen Changqing recalled that he was in that world, he actually suspected that Cheng Haiyan had always abandoned his "master". He clearly promised to help the other party, but in the end he broke the contract and left the master's side .

At that time, he was still secretly thinking that Cheng Haiyan was a scumbag. This impression did not come until the third world, when Shen Changqing began to feel that his judgment of him was too arbitrary, and only then did he change his mind about Cheng Haiyan.

But now, Shen Changqing suddenly realized that he had misunderstood him too deeply.

Cheng Haiyan had been standing there the whole time, and never left from the beginning to the end.

"You will go to that world in the end, it is accidental and inevitable."

When the young man heard him talking about Qi Rui, a smile appeared on his face: "Yes, she is a very smart girl. I was able to escape from the research institute largely because of her."

At that time, Cheng Haiyan's player identity was a doctor, and Qi Rui's identity was also a doctor.

Because the young man helped Qi Rui before, saved Qi Rui's mother suffering from mental illness, and helped her solve some troubles that made her very painful, so Qi Rui is very grateful to the young man.

After being admitted to a medical university and becoming the psychiatrist she dreamed of becoming, Qi Rui met Cheng Haiyan and indirectly discovered the plight of the teenager.

Smart, she finally made a decisive decision. After discussing with the two of them, she drew up a perfect escape plan for the boy.

She first "inadvertently" leaked the boy's situation to the hospital's senior management, and made them decide to imprison the boy, forcing the boy's consciousness to stay in that world, and he couldn't leave for a short time.

At the same time, they started a plan to transfer flowers and plants.

"During that time, she and Haiyan have been researching the system's monitor," the young man recalled this passage, and said lightly, "They hoped to catch the loopholes in the monitor, and also hoped that in a long period of time, the World awareness drains the power of the monitor."

As the boy said before, every world will be repulsive to outsiders like them, especially the boy who treated so many people in the hospital had such a big impact.

In the end, the powerful repulsive force of world consciousness crushed the monitor from the research institute, and under Qi Rui's plan, the boy was successfully transferred to the basement of the hospital, where he exchanged identities with Cheng Haiyan in the dark——

Since then, his soul has been completely freed from the supervision of the research institute and gained complete freedom.

Cheng Haiyan got rid of his own system, and inherited the tattered monitor instead of the boy, and became the boy's stand-in, running around in various worlds, existing to cover up the boy's disappearance.

This cover-up is 20 years.

In order to avoid being found out by the research institute, he directly gave up his original identity and pretended to be a player who died in the game, and his real body would stop breathing because of this.

Cheng Haiyan did not tell the boy about this decision.

Maybe he felt that he should have died a long time ago. Although he can survive the game and stay in reality for a few more days, as a player, he is driven by the system like a slave, constantly running around in various worlds , fearful, do not know when life will come to an abrupt end.

Maybe he still has nostalgia for reality, but it is only for the sake of the boy that he resolutely decides to abandon his real identity and move forward with the same pain as the boy, just to fight for a bright future that may come true.

But no matter what, in the end, the real Cheng Haiyan died, and the only one who survived was him who was reborn with the body of the newborn Xie Yan.

Staring blankly at Cheng Haiyan's back disappearing in front of the screen, Shen Changqing lowered his eyelids after knowing the truth behind it, and clearly felt a slight heat in his eyes, and a tear fell quietly.

Just now, when he saw the boy being forced to leave his parents and relatives, he didn't cry.

Later, when he saw that the young man was tortured, lost his eyesight, and became numb, he was only a little sad.

But when he saw Cheng Haiyan and those girls' silent efforts, when he saw his lover choose to shoulder all the burdens and silently shoulder a future for him, Shen Changqing cried out.

He lowered his head, said nothing, and hastily wiped away his tears.

At this time, the truth of all this also ushered in the finale.

Before letting him immerse himself in sadness for too long, the picture in front of him suddenly faded away, the boy who looked similar to him disappeared into a white mist, Cheng Haiyan's back also disintegrated, and what finally appeared was a Town streets covered with rain and snow.

In a hidden place that cannot be captured by the surveillance video, a black hole quietly appeared. The woman pulled her body out of the black hole and came to this place out of thin air.

Shen Changqing raised his head and saw the woman's face clearly.

It's Qi Rui.

Qi Rui, who was dressed tightly, held a dead baby tightly in her arms, and stuffed a small metal ball into the baby's hand.

The child who had stopped breathing originally moved his fingers slightly the moment he touched the little golden ball.

Holding the baby, she braved the heavy snow and came to a remote teahouse, where she met a middle-aged man.

It was Mr. Shen, who was 60 years old. He was the one who helped the teenager, and he was also an indispensable part of this plan.

Seeing Qi Rui coming, he handed over a cup of hot tea: "He... Has he really been brought here?"

The old man's voice trembled slightly, and the eyes he looked at the child in Qi Rui's arms became tender instantly.

Qi Rui didn't take the tea, but nodded to him, and handed the child over.

"His real body is bound and he can't go back. I put my soul in this child's body," Qi Rui said in a low voice, "His soul belongs to your world, so he can be in this world." Growing up normally in the world."

Master Shen took the child carefully, and looked down at his gradually rosy face.

"It's okay, don't worry," the old man smiled heartily and said firmly, "I have a son who will get married soon, I will adopt him, put him in their name, and pretend to be Their children, hidden from the search of those researchers."

When Qi Rui heard this, a slack appeared on her tense face.

She took a sip of tea and looked up at the old man: "I spent a lot of time finding this body. I haven't had time to give him a name, what do you plan to call him?"

To make a complete farewell to the past, it would be good to change the name.As Master Shen is the master's future relative, it is only appropriate for him to name it.

Hearing this, the old man touched the baby's head with nostalgia, and his vicissitudes of eyes sank slightly.

"Let's call him Changqing," he said softly, "from now on, he will be Shen Changqing from the Shen family."

The moment the old man finished speaking, Shen Changqing raised his head.

Between light and shadow, that boy appeared in front of him again.

Only this time, their hands stretched out and their palms closed together. The two of them, one real and one empty, finally merged into one.

He remembered.

Everything, he knew.

The boy is him, the master is him, and Shen Changqing is also him.

Before being put into a new body by Qi Rui, they blocked his memory, hoping that he could spend a carefree and happy time without knowing all the truth.

But his special physique makes him the system's choice target.

One day, he will return to the game again, meet his former lovers, and realize their final plan——

Thoroughly expose the research institute's situation and illegal research activities to the public's attention.

Just like what had appeared in his memory before, this research institute used unscrupulous means to achieve the purpose of the experiment.

In order to understand the repulsion of each world to outsiders, they will force him, who was once the master, to find some local people, bring them into the game space, and exist as NPCs.

Once the player enters the game, NPCs can easily die due to the player's actions.Their death will cause fluctuations in the world's consciousness, which is exactly what the research wants.

They don't care about human lives, they only care about data.

Shen Changqing was controlled by them before, and he had to do things that went against his heart, but fortunately, the dungeons he chose were almost all revenge dungeons, just like in the first world, the death of those villains was considered a merit.

In the second and third non-revenge worlds, the situation is much better, with almost no deaths.

Qi Rui conspired to kill Wang Xiaomeng, there should be something else hidden.

At that time, through Xu Qing's death, he guessed that Qi Rui should be pursuing the master, and for the only one who can go to other worlds with the master, he got rid of these competitors.

But thinking about it now, his guess should be wrong.

Qi Rui could travel through the world with Cheng Haiyan's ability, and she also knows Shen Changqing herself, so she didn't need to do that at all.

Even the system and the master judged that Wang Xiaomeng was the final murderer, how could Qi Rui be the one behind the scenes.

Qi Ruiyuan is not as vicious as he imagined, she will use entrapment of Wang Xiaomeng as the main line, and arrange the next S-level game. It is probably because Wang Xiaomeng used some vicious methods to force Xu Qing to commit suicide by jumping off the building .

She was originally a tough person, and it was her style to change one life for another.

This is the real content of the 10% progress that Shen Changqing failed to decipher in the end.

After he recovered all his memories and figured out the ins and outs of the matter, the phantom in front of him had disappeared.

The old man on the boat slowly walked in front of him with a faint blue light.

"Your wish has been fulfilled, please go back first," the old man smiled kindly at him, and said, "Go well, I hope I won't see you again in the future."

Shen Changqing also nodded to him.

This old man had been helped by him before, so after the research institute asked for a game to appear in this world, the old man stood up.

Unlike the records he saw at the village chief's house, in fact, the old man who is the god of the river is not a person who confuses the villagers with desire and causes them to kill each other. He only intends to realize some small things for the villagers at first. It's nothing more than my wish, and I never proposed to replace it with anything.

Later, the appetite of the villagers grew, which made the old man feel more and more disgusted.

In order to realize their wish, the villagers blindly believed in the ancient saying of offering sacrifices to the river god, and were even willing to use the life of the tramp to achieve their goal.

Looking at their greedy faces, the old man felt that he saw wolves with green eyes.

In the end, it was Shen Changqing who helped him solve his troubles. Most of the villagers in Hepan Village just died of cannibalism and open and secret fighting for their own interests.

The news that the whole village died overnight was false, it was a rumor released by the surrounding villages in order to prevent other people from breaking into this place.

Decades later, the old man reappeared here in order to assign so-called missions and cover up the situation for Shen Changqing.

After thanking the old man, the old man waved his hand and said nothing.

"My contract was originally a fake. Except for you, no one else's wishes will come true, and you don't have to worry about someone dying," the old man said to him. "Since you can get free, don't come back. Here Too dangerous."

Shen Changqing smiled at him, but said nothing.

He knew the kindness of the old man towards him, and he also knew that the old man was trying to avoid the situation of the dead.

It's a pity that a malignant player appeared in the team, which completely destroyed the old man's plan.

But if you think about it carefully, it's not all about her own fault that Yu Qing became like this.Under the deliberate guidance of the researchers and the system, she finally chose to kill other people to seize the chance of survival, but she was also forced to do so.

They will not tell Yu Qing that this is wrong, they will only subtly condone Yu Qing to do this, because the more people she kills, the more energy they can collect.

She herself is half responsible for the blood on her hands, but the system and the research institute have to bear the other half.

Shen Changqing really hated this organization.

After leaving the dream that the old man wove for him, Shen Changqing didn't think for too long, and slowly woke up under Cheng Haiyan's call.
